Product Description
The clowns of the American silent screen bring laughter to a new generation in this wonderful box set, featuring 53 short films from the era's funniest comic talents: Laurel and Hardy, Fatty Arbuckle, Buster Keaton, Mack Sennett, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Harry Langdon, Will Rogers, Ben Turpin and more. Meticulously prepared for DVD with fresh new musical scores, "Slapstick Encyclopedia" is a unique collection of silent comedy gems.
A veritable gold mine of rarities and little-known treats, Slapstick Encyclopedia lives up to its title as a stupendous compendium of silent-era comedy. Spanning the entire spectrum of slapstick from 1909 to 1927, this definitive collection (curated by film historians David Shepard and Joe Adamson) dutifully credits Keystone Cops creator Mack Sennett as the founder of the slapstick phenomenon. But it reaches far beyond Sennett (who alienated most of his popular stars) to acknowledge nearly every major and minor slapstick star and style. The development of slapstick, which had its roots in vaudeville, is witnessed chronologically, mixing the manic pie-fight sensibility of Sennett's Keystone hits with the lesser-known, more sophisticated parlor-room comedy of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, while legendary black vaudevillian Bert Williams plies his popular trade in a Biograph short from 1916.
Early appearances by Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Fatty Arbuckle, Ben Turpin, Oliver Hardy, Stan Laurel, and others demonstrate the gradual emergence of the popular personalities (like Chaplin's Little Tramp) that would dominate silent comedy at its peak, establishing timeless screen icons and forever altering Hollywood's way of doing business. But the real strength of this set is its wide scope, unearthing neglected talents ripe for rediscovery (like Charley Bowers and Larry Semon), and allowing the viewer to witness the evolution of gags from simple improvisation to the elaborately planned chase-oriented routines that emerged in the early 1920s. With print quality ranging from good to pristine, and original musical accompaniment by six of the world's leading silent-movie musicians, this 18-hour, 50-film laugh-athon is surely one of the finest DVD sets ever produced. --Jeff ShannonSee all Product Description

You can see so much here, as to the development of the careers of famous silent comedians. See Buster Keaton's crying and mugging hysterics while with "Fatty" Arbuckle develop into his more familiar stoic "Great Stone Face." See Stan Laurel go from frenetic nasty idiot on screen to playing the more sublime "Stanley" in the Laurel and Hardy shorts. See early Harold Lloyd shorts where his character has a bit more of an edge. Wonder why Ben Turpin had a career at all. All along marvel at the wonderful, appropriate musical accompaniment, sometimes on the odd "Fotoplayer."
The caveat? Well, nothing and I mean nothing has been censored and some very politically incorrect moments also make the cut, a few of which can make for some startling viewing for modern sensibilities. Then again, these films are 75 to 90 years old, and that should be borne in mind. In particular, I'm thinking of "The Detectress" and "Haunted Spooks" and parts of the Bert Williams short as rather blatant offenders.Read more ›
it is because the endings of the films seem to be clipped short and the credits are not presented. Also, The producers of these discs should have given more of the history of these films. That said, I am a silent film buff who is very happy to have this in my collection.
Monty Banks gives us one of the most thrilling chases ever seen in film in "chasing choo-choos". It looks like he did all of his stunts here and it is amazing that he lived to tell about it!
Definitely a great collection. Where else can you get silent films for about a dollar each? Do I like all of them? No. But with over 50 films, there is plenty here to enjoy and thrill to.

Thanks to a winter frost heave and a tiny canvas carport I had the misfortune of accidentally breaking my side mirror when the car rolled over a bump in the driveway due to the tire positioning and the closer than close proximity of the poles holding up the carport wall. My neighbor who owns a garage tried to help me find a new mirror "preloved" so that I could save a few bucks. Even if he went to the junk yard himself and pulled it I was going to be paying at least $80. This was money that I didn't have for a side mirror I needed to have. He gave me his contact list & the website he uses to try and find the part on my own because I was getting ready for a road trip through a few states and we thought I would have better luck elsewhere. So online I went. Lots of phone calls made & websites searched but it wasn't until I came upon your website that I found what I was looking for at a price I could afford. I couldn't believe it. With shipping I was saving over $40 and the part which arrived 2 days after I got home from my trip looked perfect and still works great! I shared your website with my neighbor and he too was shocked by the price. We both love your website and while I haven't damaged anything since or needed any additional parts I will always visit your site 1st because I am confident that based on my experience with your customer service team and the pricing as well as shipping time and fantastic communication that I will always find the best deal when ordering from you.

Blue matter on blue gene/L: massively parallel computation for biomolecular simulation
Blue Gene
Blue Gene is an IBM project aimed at designing supercomputers that can reach operating speeds in the PFLOPS (petaFLOPS) range, with low power consumption. The project created three generations of supercomputers, Blue Gene/L, Blue Gene/P, and Blue Gene/Q. Blue Gene systems have led for several years the Top500 and Green500 rankings of the most powerful and most power efficient supercomputers, respectively, and have been deployed in many supercomputing centers.

Massively parallel (computing)
In computing massively parallel refers to the use of a large number of processors (or separate computers) to perform a set of coordinated computations in parallel. In one approach, e.g. , in grid computing the processing power of a large number of computers in distributed, diverse administrative domains, is opportunistically used whenever a computer is available. An example is BOINC a volunteer-based, opportunistic grid system.
more from Wikipedia
Parallel computing
Parallel computing is a form of computation in which many calculations are carried out simultaneously, operating on the principle that large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which are then solved concurrently ("in parallel"). There are several different forms of parallel computing: bit-level, instruction level, data, and task parallelism.

Protein folding
Protein folding is the process by which a protein structure assumes its functional shape or conformation. It is the physical process by which a polypeptide folds into its characteristic and functional three-dimensional structure from random coil. Each protein exists as an unfolded polypeptide or random coil when translated from a sequence of mRNA to a linear chain of amino acids. This polypeptide lacks any developed three-dimensional structure (the left hand side of the neighboring figure).

Computer performance
Computer performance is characterized by the amount of useful work accomplished by a computer system compared to the time and resources used.
more from Wikipedia
A microsecond is an SI unit of time equal to one millionth (10 or /1,000,000) of a second. Its symbol is µs. A microsecond is equal to 1000 nanoseconds or /1,000 millisecond. Because the next SI unit is 1000 times larger, measurements of 10 and 10 seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of microseconds.

Jamilah Taib Murray founded Sakto Corporation, one of Ottawa's foremost property development and management companies. She is a long-time philanthropist with a particular dedication to fostering education for women and children, and female empowerment through promoting participation and leadership skills building
Because my baby girl, you come from a proud line of loving, nurturing, loud laughing, often giggling, deeply feeling and wonderful women with curves who have been wounded by other people's aesthetic expectations and cheated by their own understanding of perfection. I want you to see me love myself for all the gorgeous, nurturing mamas that came before me.
I've witnessed the power that water can bring to a community -- not hydroelectricity, but human empowerment. It happens when a single borehole is drilled deep into the ground, and a pump installed. Clean water becomes a source of hydration, refreshment and strength, freeing people up to do great things.
The symptoms of PMS can be agonizing on several levels. I broke up with my boyfriend, my uterus hurts, I look three months pregnant, I snapped at my boss, I'm exhausted, my skin is gross, I had chocolate for dinner and I cry every time I see an elderly dog. We all have our own set of complaints and remedies.
Sometimes we, as strong and independent individuals, want to believe that we can face the storm single-handedly, but having supportive friends makes all the difference. As Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook and a strong advocate of women's leadership, says, we are more effective and productive once we have a support group.
I've always been an advocate for speaking openly about sex and masturbation. I make a point in asking my friends (and mother) who are in long term relationships about their sex lives, partnered or solo. The singles are more likely to offer information, but I'll pester them every once and a while anyways.
One time I heard that menopause is the last chance a woman has to straighten out whatever isn't right in her life. It's her last time of insight into the reality that "all is not well in the kingdom." I wonder, dear PMS, if you aren't a microcosm of that concept. My anger may actually be an insight into truth.
The stereotypical argument against gender parity for women is that there just aren't enough of them who are qualified to do X. The stereotypical argument against gender parity for men is the opposite: that "women's work" isn't as attractive or well-paying. But the prejudices and economics that propped up both those arguments are falling fast.
Life can be beautiful, but occasionally it can also kick us in the teeth. We can experience loss, disappointment, adversity. Eventually, everyone has to face their fair share of pain. What makes the difference between someone who barely survives these challenges in life, and someone who meets these challenges head-on and thrives?
Internally, the inner warrior is the part of you that recognizes and rejects any negative self-talk. In the world, the inner warrior looks out for you and identifies who's friendly and who's a potential threat. When you embody this warrior part of the psyche, it enables you to stand up for yourself any time you need to and walk away from a bad situation any time you have to.
Many women around the world are placed in situations where they are often unable to negotiate with their partners to be faithful or to use condoms. Stepping it up for gender parity requires that women have access to a range of HIV prevention options, including those that they can use without partner involvement if they choose. Recent advances in oral pre-exposure prophylaxis have contributed to an expanding set of options, and two weeks ago, the results of two vaginal microbicide trials were released, taking us one momentous step forward along this path.
Each year, International Women's Day offers us the opportunity to take stock of how much progress women in communities all around the world have made, and how much further we have to go. As we continue to fight against ingrained patriarchal structures that constrain us all, it is important that we advocate for increased recognition and a shared division of labour across all spheres including our emotional lives.
Ending the AIDS epidemic requires that we discuss the invisible side of HIV/AIDS, such as cases of sexual violence... Many women may be aware of the risks of HIV during unprotected sex, but without equity and rights over their bodies, they may not be able to enact any measures of protection. Giving women and disempowered persons a channel to ask for help, network, and gain information is essential.
The presence of gender inequality becomes apparent within the communities of CAP-AIDS Uganda's CBO partners upon observing gender disparities in domestic labour and unpaid work, access to capital, as well as land and housing rights. These women are breadwinners, caregivers and active agents of community development who are entrenched in the social welfare of family, friends and neighbours.
POZ women (women living with HIV) may face further incursions on their mental, physical, and emotional health, as gender-based disparities often interfere with socioeconomic stability. Employed may become unemployed or underemployed. Unstable housing may lead to a risk of homelessness... Being in an unhealthy and abusive relationship can severely affect a woman's sense of safety and security.
A few years ago I decided to embark on a backpacking trip across Europe for two months. Towards the end of my travels, I found myself at the Sisteen Chapel in Rome, Italy. As I was standing there, enchanted by this insanely crazy masterpiece, I felt a soft whisper perk the tiny hairs on the back of my neck.
The last time I breastfed my first child, I bawled. Unbeknownst to my 13-month-old, I was about to disappear for several days, a last-resort measure to terminate a relationship that was marked by inadequate milk supply, sleepless nights, blocked ducts and metabolic chaos. She was frustrated, I was frustrated, I was losing more weight than was healthy and I had a job interview in a week. It was taking a huge toll on everyone. Heaving with sadness and guilt, I finally agreed to go cold-turkey.
As I continued to lose weight and get stronger, I no longer had a to-do list full of other people's priorities. I now had personal goals that were all about me. I was losing weight with purpose, so that I could run, jump, play and enjoy my life. Being active was becoming fun. I was in my fifties, and I was just now learning how to play.

I have been working with SharpSVN quite a bit lately and I'm currently trying to obtain all of a revisions children's revision numbers. I see that using
SvnLogEventArgs.HasChildren I can verify that they exist but it need the actual numbers of the children below it. I've been looking at the SvnClient object and see a
GetMergesMerged() but an unable to determine what to feed it to return it the correct values, right now it does not return anything.
System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<SvnMergesMergedEventArgs> logitems = null;
SvnTarget target = SvnTarget.FromUri(new Uri(myRepoURL));
SvnUriTarget targetUri = new SvnUriTarget(new Uri(myRepoURL), revision);
client.GetMergesMerged(target, targetUri, out logitems);
This is what I currently use but is not returning anything, if someone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. -Thanks

However, when US production of this CD started, the CD booklet and even the silk screen printing on the disc remained the same, but the actual CONTENT of the disc was replaced by the US version of the album, which instead has a 3:27 version of "Two Tribes" and which replaces the song "Happy Hi" with "San Jose" as track 10.
There is literally NO WAY that I know of to tell if the disc is the correct one without putting the disc in a player and playing track 10 to see if it is "San Jose" or not.
I have purchased and have had to return more than one copy of this disc for this reason; sellers CANNOT TELL if their copy is the correct one solely by looking at the CD packaging and disc itself.
The audio on this remastered edition is simply amazing, especially compared to the flat sound of the original CD release(s). You really get to appreciate the amazing production on this album now, with higher highs and lower lows. The audio has really been cleaned-up and is now crisp and clear. Play it loud, or pop on a good pair of headphones and enjoy!
As for the album itself, what can be said? It has much more to offer than just its well-known single releases (Relax, Two Tribes, The Power Of Love). It's a true 80's classic, and an enduring tribute to the talents of the band and their producer, Trevor Horn. For audiophiles, this a true masterpiece (and master class) of recording and production from the pre-digital era. Glad to see it finally get the CD release/remaster treatment it deserves.
What a courage it must have demanded to issue a concept album, a long story split into songs, as a debut. Why don't these bands ever last longer? »Welcome To The Pleasuredome« has it all: One of the most beautiful ballads ever performed, »The Power Of Love«; great covers: »Born To Run«, »San José«, »Fury«, »War«; the sexy experimental »The Ballad Of 32«... plus, of course, the outstanding hit classics »Two Tribes« and »Relax«.
Furthermore, this import CD contains two interviews which were included on maxi(vinyl)singles.
So... »Welcome To The Pleasuredome«!! Frankie say... no more.
[A little remark for amazon.com: Your computer predicted I'd give this great album one star... based on the fact that I've given Madonna's »Music« one star!! Well, what's the comparison!??!?!]
Having said all of this, Welcome to the Pleasuredome is a classic release for its first half before becoming hit and miss the rest of the way. The tribal title track, all 13 minutes and 40 seconds of it, is fantastic, and a video would later gain some MTV airplay albeit in a much shorter version. "Relax" is a classic, one of the catchiest and most risqué songs of the 80's. "Two Tribes" is even better. Led by its kinetic bass line and a manic energetic beat, it is simply one of the most exciting songs to hit the charts. And the video, which features Ronald Reagan and Konstantin Chernenko (thanks for the correction, Patrick) battling it out in a sand pit with the band and other world leaders looking on, has to be seen to be believed. While not on the level of the original versions, covers of Edwin Starr's "War" and Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" are also very good. The moody instrumental "The Ballad of 32" and the ballad "The Power of Love", which would also hit #1 in the U.K., are strong tracks and add some diversity. However, songs like "Krisco Kisses", "Wish the Lads Were Here", and "The Only Star In Heaven", while maintaining the energy of "Relax" and "Two Tribes", are decent at best. The versions of "Ferry across the Mersey" and "San Jose" also don't stand out. All told, Welcome to the Pleasuredome is a very good album from a band that would shine like the sun for just a moment but would not be forgotten.
The result was WELCOME TO THE PLEASURE DOME, and released with tremendous hype the record leaped to the top of the English charts with the singles "Relax," "When Two Tribes Go To War," and "The Power of Love." The band was soon popular in the USA as well, and t-shirts proclaiming "Frankie Says Relax" were suddenly ubiquitious.
FRANKIE's time in the public eye equated to Warhol's fifteen minutes of fame; their second release was a flop, singer Holly Johnson left, and the band fell apart. But somewhat oddly, WELCOME TO THE PLEASURE DOME has left an unexpected afterglow: both singles and remixes have remained very popular in dance clubs, and remixes of "Relax" and "The Power of Love" actually returned to the English charts in 1993--nine years after the songs first debuted.
In many ways the recording is indicative of 1980s excess. At least two of the band members were openly gay and the band tended to present itself as an exercise in homosexual hedonism; the lyrics to "Relax" were so explicit that it was among the most often banned-from-radio songs of it era, and the video that accompanied it was so hot that it too was banned and a much tamer substitute video was created in order to get MTV airplay. Listening to PLEASURE DOME today one finds it no less explicit than it was twenty years ago. One also finds just as strange as it was when it first exploded onto the charts.
Much of the recording might best be described as musical collage. One song seques into another with odd bits and pieces coloring in the lines between each cut; there are bird sounds; narrative readings; and a host of other oddities. "Well," "The World Is My Oyster," "Snatch of Fury," and the title "Welcome To The Pleasure Dome" feel like one extend piece, bouncing from blunt to sharp. "Relax," the song for which FRANKIE was and is still best known, remains as intense, pulsing, and sexually hot as ever; and "Two Tribes" has considerable power and sharpness. "The Power of Love," one of the few ballad-like pieces the band did, is also very memorable.
The album as a whole--well, let's put it this way. You really have to be in the mood. Holly Johnson does nice covers of "Ferry Cross The Mersey," "Born to Run," and "Do You Know The Way to San Jose," but I wouldn't describe any of these as besting the originals so much as being new takes on old favorites. Some of the pieces are basically fluff filler expertly performed, with "Krisco Kisses," "Black Night White Light," and "The Only Star in Heaven" cases in point. Even so, it is hard to dismiss FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD as purely style over substance, as some have done; in many ways, it is as fresh today as it was when it first came out.
There are two versions of WELCOME TO THE PLEASURE DOME. This particular edition includes seventeen tracks and is essentially the recording as it was first released; a later version includes expanded tracks but, at least according to friends who have heard it, does so at the expense of the "bleed" between tracks. Both, however, seem to include what most people think of the essential three: "Relax," "Two Tribes," and "The Power of Love."
It's an odd recording, glitchy, strange, and one people seem to either really like or completely loathe. But the musicianship, production, and Holly Johnson's vocals are uniquely powerful and appealing. Flawed, absolutely; recommended just the same.

How does the fed lowering .75 bring back confidence in the dollar? Inflation is outpacing any return on the dollar. It's easy to understand that as the rates go down and inflation continues to rise, there is no fundamental basis to invest in the dollar. With each cut and injection of liquidity in the market, Uncle Sam just took more money out of your pocket and this cycle is going to continue until there is a change in policy.

Loews Completes Multi-Year Renovation of Coronado Bay Resort
Wednesday February 6th, 2013 - 12:52AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
SAN DIEGO—The Loews Coronado Bay Resort completed a redesign of its lobby, Bay Terrace, Cay's Lounge, Market Café and Market-to-Go, wrapping up a nine-month-long transformation.
The renovation came on the heels of enhancements to the meeting space, corridors and guestroom bathrooms.
The total investment over the past three years was $12 million.
Jonathan Nehmer + Associates (JN+A) provided architecture and project-management services for the revamp.
"We are extremely pleased with the completion of this renovation," said Jonathan C. Nehmer, president of JN+A. "The Loews Coronado Bay renovation is a shining example of how to maximize space to better serve the needs of the hotel and guest."
Situated on a private, 15-acre peninsula surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and Coronado Bay, the resort is located minutes from downtown Coronado and is a short drive to San Diego. The resort includes direct access to the Silver Strand State Beach, three tennis courts, a private 81-slip marina, three restaurants, 440 guestrooms and suites and panoramic views.
Design firm BAMO, which handled the interiors, describes the style as "lively and fresh" and the hotel as a place guests will "feel at ease."
According to the design firm, San Diego's bay is central to the theme and one of the first things guests will see when entering the new lobby. A two-story chandelier of suspended glass is a focal point to the resort's grand staircase and projects the time on a new signature clock on the lobby floor.
In Cay's Lounge, a media wall with nine LCD flat-screen televisions broadcasts sporting events, while communal-style bar tables enable casual gatherings and networking. Outside on the Bay Terrace, oversize teak sofas are situated around fire pits. Cay's Lounge new menu highlights craft cocktails, as well as local brews on tap.
The resort's crescent-shaped Market Café features panoramic views of the hotel's 81-slip marina. The restaurant menus were handcrafted by Executive Chef Mark Ching, who specializes in modern takes on classic comfort foods.
The adjacent Market To Go offers a casual atmosphere for all-day dining and features a communal table and intimate bar. Grab-and-go counters offer baked goods throughout the day, as well as a selection of gourmet sandwiches, salads, sweets and snacks.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

This technology wants to prevent police pursuit-related deaths - Too many cops have been killed or injured attempting to deploy roadside tire deflation devices. This technology is aimed at preventing those deaths
Cops' latest tool in high speed chases GPS projectiles | StarChase on CBS This Morning - StarChase LLC is a company specializing in tagging and tracking pursuit management solutions for the law enforcement sector. The privately held company is based in Virginia Beach, Va., and has been in operation since 2001. The StarChase products are patent protected in several countries, including the United States.
StarChase Technology Overview - The StarChase system is a proven, less-lethal technology that provides a significant tactical advantage to law enforcement officers in failure-to-yield or high-risk flight situations. Once a vehicle is tagged it enables a dispatcher to track the suspect in real time using a web-based mapping program. The officer remains on the street, a potentially dangerous pursuit is avoided, and the offender can then be safely apprehended.

Take Me To The Pilots '11: FOX's 'New Girl'
[In case you've Forgotten, and as I will continue to mention each and every one of these posts that I do: This is *not* a review. Pilots change. Sometimes a lot. Often for the better. Sometimes for the worse. But they change. Actual reviews will be coming in September and perhaps October (and maybe midseason in some cases). This is, however, a brief gut reaction to not-for-air pilots.]
Show: "New Girl"
The Pitch: "So we've got Zooey Deschanel and..." "Stop! SAY NO MORE!"
Quick Response: It's going to sound like a weird comparison, but "New Girl" is like FOX's sitcom equivalent of ABC's "Castle." When "Castle" first premiered, ABC was making a simple contract with viewers: If you find Nathan Fillion charming and promise to ask *nothing* else of a quirky crime procedural, we can promise you 44 minutes of Nathan Fillion being charming EVERY week. ["Castle" has become a bit more than that, thanks to Stana Katic, but that's still the basic backdrop of each episode, three seasons later.] With "New Girl," FOX is making an equally simple contract: If you find Zooey Deschanel utterly and completely irresistible and demand little more to a single-camera comedy beyond Zooey Deschanel's particular brand of twee majesty, we can offer you 22 minutes every week. That's selling the entirety of "New Girl" the tiniest bit short. Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield and Damon Wayans Jr. are all acceptable foils to Ms. Deschanel, but whatever individual gifts they might hypothetically offer in the future -- Wayans' future being particularly brief, with "Happy Endings" demanding his time after a couple episodes -- for the sake of the pilot, they're being well paid to respond with encouraging confusion and amused bafflement as Zooey Deschanel does what she does. In this case, she sings (frequently), she cries, she falls down and when she puts on a little black dress, everybody suddenly realizes that she's been hot all along. It's SHOCKING. Thus far, nobody's asked Deschanel to stretch in any meaningful way, but just because she could probably play this role in her sleep, doesn't mean that she chooses to. She's fully committed and, if you've loved Zooey Deschanel in the past, the odds of your not falling for her here are low. But anything else -- that includes the premise, the dialogue, the three supporting actors and the arc of the pilot -- is window-dressing.
Desire To Watch Again: High. It turns out, at least for a couple weeks, that I'm one of those viewers who will be totally happy to watch Zooey Be Zooey on a weekly basis. My patience won't be endless and I feel like the loss of Wayans is actually a big loss for "New Girl," but when you have as strong a cornerstone as "New Girl" does, you *ought* to be able to make that work. [Note: One of the disadvantages to Letting Zooey Be Zooey is that if you're one of the not-so-few viewers who have any kind of antipathy towards Deschanel, you're more likely to have your issues re-confirmed, rather than overcome.]

Retirement community may grace Mills River landscape
Published: Thursday, May 8, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 8, 2008 at 6:08 a.m.
Developers of a continuing care retirement community rejected in Crab Creek now plan to build a similar project next to Hollabrook Farm, a community of expensive homes off Butler Bridge Road in Mills River.
The same developers who planned the project known as the Glen want to bring a $195 million continuing care retirement community for 570 residents to the land between Jeffress and Valley View roads, behind the Glenn C. Marlow Elementary School.
Grant Investment Group has sued Henderson County for denying it the right to build the Glen on Crab Creek Road after neighbors there said the project was out of place in the rural valley.
The developers have not abandoned plans for the Crab Creek site but feel the need to move forward because of the growing need for retirement care in Henderson County, said William Alexander, attorney for the developers.
"We are not treating this as purchase of a replacement site," he said Wednesday. "But due to the amount of uncertainty at the other site we are proceeding on."
Addressing concerns up front
Knowing of controversies that dogged the Glen over traffic, wastewater and rural compatibility, the developers plan a number of measures to help this new project fit into the 112 rolling acres. The property is located behind Hollabrook Farm and was to be that development's second phase.
"Unlike the Crab Creek site, the Hollabrook property has immediately available public water and sewer" the developers said in a statement. "The site is in close proximity to medical and hospital services (Park Ridge Hospital and the Henderson County EMS station on N.C. 280) adequate fire protection and major transportation corridors."
The developers have worked with the current developers, Terry Powell and Mitch Duckett, and former owners "to achieve an agreement that will be mutually beneficial to the parties, to the owners within Phase I of Hollabrook Farm ... and to the town of Mills River," they said.
"We really are committed to keeping this effort very positive," Alexander said.
Neighbors have questions
Neighbors in nearby Regal Knolls off Butler Bridge Road four years ago rallied in favor of residential rather than industrial development on the former Hollamon dairy. They have plenty of questions now upon hearing of the latest plans for part of the land.
"I would want to know what it would do to our property values," said Janeen Wynn, who has lived since 1994 in Regal Knolls with her family. "We were very happy with Hollabrook and what was happening with our property values when they went in."
She continued: "I would want to know that it would be done in a tasteful manner, please no more metal buildings around here. It would be nice to hear more about the proposal and the planning and how we would be affected by this."
To build the project, the developers will have seek a new special-use permit from the town of Mills River, Alexander said. They will take the proposal to the town's planning board, which must issue a recommendation within 45 days to town council. Council will then hold a "quasi-judicial" public hearing, as it did with Hollabrook Farm.
The developers want the town to put a special medical, institutional cultural designation on the land that, under the town's zoning code, would allow for a continuing care retirement community. These are communities in which seniors can "age in place," first living independently and later with more assistance.
Like the Glen, Legacy at Mills River would have some minor commercial uses, such as a beauty salon, pharmacy and possible store, but only for residents.
"The goal in mind in a CCRC is you try to make the facilities that are needed on a daily basis available within the facility so your residents don't have to do a lot of traveling," Alexander said.
Traffic: Always a concern
Unlike the Glen, this project would be served by public water and sewer. However, it would be accessed by rural roads that, like Crab Creek Road, are winding and cause for traffic concerns among neighbors.
To address these concerns, the project is planned with entrances on Jeffress and Valley View roads but won't share an entrance with Hollabrook Farm, which has its main access off Butler Bridge Road near Glenn C. Marlow Elementary. Parents and neighbors of the school have expressed repeated concerns about heavy traffic on Butler Bridge.
Employees would work 12-hour shifts with travel times that would not coincide with the times school opens and lets out, Alexander said. Further, the center plans to specify that employees not use Butler Bridge Road as a condition of employment.
"We don't want to risk any of our traffic going by the school," he said.
Traffic is a major concern of residents. Lisa and Tom Mundt moved to Regal Knolls from Indiana seven years ago after a large commercial development was approved next to their home. They are wary.
"We already have a traffic problem just with the school alone," said Mrs. Mundt, whose two young children will attend Marlow in two years. "With parents picking up children it blocks traffic pretty much in both directions."
Tom Mundt, 41, a pharmaceutical representative, said developers of the Pepsi facility on N.C. 280 assured neighbors that large trucks would not use Butler Bridge, but residents see big trucks there daily.
"We don't have nearly the infrastructure to handle this," he said. "Until they do something about the traffic situation on Butler Bridge, I can't imagine them adding another person let alone what they are talking about."
He said he is concerned about "not only the resident traffic but delivery traffic. I would assume they would have a cafeteria, which will mean food deliveries, linen service."
"Anybody who has driven down Butler Bridge when school lets out realizes there is a serious problem there," he said.
Fitting in
The second phase of Hollabrook Farm was originally planned as a 137-lot single family subdivision. Mr. Mundt wonders about how the latest plan would affect phase one.
"What about the property values for the people who have bought in Hollabrook?" he asked. "I can't imagine they are going to be happy about that."
According to Alexander and the developers, the two projects plan to share certain amenities, such as a lake, clubhouse and pool.
Having a continuing care retirement community will alleviate a major community concern with no school age children to crowd elementary schools, the developers said.
Mills River officials got their first look at the proposal Wednesday and have not yet discussed it. Mayor Roger Snyder said the town has been concerned about traffic on Butler Bridge for years.
Mills River incorporated almost five years ago to control its destiny and preserve its rural character. Snyder said he has questions about the density of the project and whether it would require a variance from height restrictions.
Tall buildings
Alexander said the project would have a residential density less than that allowed under the existing permit for Hollabrook Farm. The town's special-use provisions require that no more than 25 percent of the site be covered with buildings. The developers are aiming for 70 percent of the site to be unpaved and not covered with buildings.
The proposed 165 "Manor Units" are planned as four-story buildings, 76 feet tall, he said. But the developer plans to situate them on the site so the tops do not rise above surrounding ridge lines. The buildings would not be seen except for possibly from the entrance on Jeffress Road, where screening landscaping is planned.
"In fact, most of the adjoining landowners won't be able to see tall buildings," Alexander said. "What we are trying to accomplish is no more visual impact in terms of height of buildings than would have existed for residential structures on the property."

You got the number wrong: it's Tomahawk9, not 6.
Also, the votes should be in order of preference.
Thanks for helping out, :). Can't believe that they went buck wild from me telling him/her that there will no pre-gen evos for this game, and simply guessing for such evos that didn't make sense.
my goodness, you went straight to the point 10x better than I did, XD. Maybe he/she'll get it through their head now.

Sydney Gruber Painted Chess Set
Sydney Gruber, an artist who grew up playing chess, found Chess House while looking for single plastic bishop pieces. Most people purchasing single pieces are trying to complete a full set of pieces Sydney, however, had a different idea.
She made them into business cards! "It was my hope that my hand painted bishops will be eccentric enough to say everything I can hope to say in a personal calling card" she says.
Sydney's art really caught our attention and in brilliant fashion this painted chess set she recently completed illustrates why.
She says, "This was an incredibly fun project for me. I am ecstatic to be working with Chess House and doing something chess related – it's such a treasured part of my life."

good points. for this time i think we should go with 404 for test purposes and see what changed to start emitting 403. i believe the capability to specify error pages (eg 404.html) is available at some level in the web.xml but i'm not sure it will completely address your goals. this is based on some cursory thoughts while reading servlet 2.2 without excercising this specific goal at any level. it would be nice to get the html code out of tomcat. the default welcome files are specified in: org.apache.tomcat.deployment.web.xml and will be obviated (vs aggregated) by any context specified (ie WEB-INF/web.xml) welcome files. this later logic occurs in: org.apache.tomcat.core.Context.init() which i've considered factoring out as a utility class to keep Context (the keeper of lots of info) lean'n mean. hope this helps, - james Bernd Eilers wrote: > > Hi there ! > > > i think we need to vote on this one as arun is basically > > blocked. > > > > I vote: > > +1 for 404 - not found. > -1 for 403 - forbidden. > > 1.) 403 forbidden on directories could be handled by some general > access control mechanism in the Web Server > > 2) Might be nice to add a method for letting the user customize what > to do with a request on /servlet or /WEB-INF/*, If he didn't customize > anything it's a 404 - not found answer.
